Birth Place : Brick Croft, Runcorn 1848
« on: Thursday 31 August 17 20:56 BST (UK) »
Just found  that my wife has ancestors born in Runcorn. Sent for the birth certificate which we received today. Place of birth given as Brick Croft, Runcorn, but I have been unable to find where this is. Does anyone have an old map of Runcorn from 1840-1850 and can find it for me

There is Stone Croft on the 1876 map.
 https://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html#/Map/350953/382754/13/100102 Brick Croft could have been renamed. There are references to Stone Croft in the old newspapers, but none for Brick Croft.

Have you found them in the 1851 census? What is the name?

was Hannahs father John a Dockmaster ??  could this be her marriage ?

Marriage: 20 Sep 1869 Holy Trinity, Liverpool, Lancashire, England
 Robert Gornall - Full, Coach Builder, Bachelor, 11 Canterbury Street
 Hannah Grundy - (X), Full, Spinster, 20 Pitt Street
     Groom's Father: Robert Gornall, Gentleman
     Bride's Father: John Grundy, Dock Master
     Witness: Thomas Pearson, (X); Hannah Pearson, (X)
     Married by Banns by: Gustavus Carson A. K. A. Off. Min. Off.Minister
     Register: Marriages 1863 - 1874, Page 154, Entry 307
     Source: LDS Film 1656017

if it is - looks like she married in to money - her father in law is a "Gentleman "

Unfortunately they don't seem to be in Runcorn in the 1841 census.
